Johanna Shelton, Google’s director of public policy — in effect, the company’s top lobbyist — has visited White House officials 128 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.

To put that in perspective, senior lobbyists for other companies in the telecommunications and cable industry — including Comcast, Facebook, Amazon, Oracle and Verizon — have visited the White House a combined 124 times in the same span. (That data goes through October 2015.)

Anne Weismann, executive director of the Campaign for Accountability, told Watchdog.org those logs don’t reveal the discussion of the meetings, just who attended them.

“You don’t know what the meetings are about, but the fact that someone has that level of access at the White House is revealing,” she said. “It certainly suggests a level of influence.”

Shelton far outpaced her peers. The second most frequent White House visitor, with 75 visits, was Alissa Fox, senior vice president of the Office of Policy and Representation for Blue Cross/Blue Shield (again, essentially a mouthful of a title for head lobbyist.)

Oil companies in the top 50 visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a combined 101 times, and defense contractors in the top 50 came 89 times since 2009. Shelton visited the White House more than 18 of the top 50 lobbying spenders combined.

“It suggests, given the intrusion of the Obama administration into the internet and health care, the idea these companies are independent of the government is quaint,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation promoting transparency and accountability in government.

Fitton said the Obama administration wants to regulate the internet like a public utility, so he can’t blame Google for beating a trail to the White House.

“The government wants to turn these companies into socialized entities,” he said. “I’m surprised Google isn’t there twice as much.”

He pointed out, however, that because the White House isn’t subject to the Freedom of Information Act, the public can’t be sure the logs reflect all the visits that are made.

Google’s open door

In all, employees of Google and related companies visited the White House 427 times, or more than once a week over a period of nearly seven years. Those trips included 363 meetings in total, attended by 169 Google employees — from executives to software engineers — and 182 officials from the White House.

Weismann said the transparency project hasn’t crunched the numbers for total visits by other companies among the top 50 lobbying spenders.

The Google Transparency Project examination includes large events such as parties, state dinners and industry conferences. The majority of these meetings were likely between small groups of company officials and key White House officials, “meetings at which public policies are likely to have been discussed,” the Campaign for Accountability wrote.

At least 21 of those meetings included Obama, and a similar number included such high-ranking political and economic advisers as current White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, former chiefs of staff Jack Lew (now Treasury secretary), Bill Daley, Pete Rouse and Rahm Emanuel, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and economic adviser Jeffrey Zients.

Of Shelton’s 128 visits, 94 included meetings with White House officials (she has also, for example, ferried Google Science Fair winners there), and four of those meetings involved Obama.

“That’s a lot of meetings for one individual to have,” Weismann said.

White House logs are not available for previous administrations; Obama was the first president to make that information available for public inspection.

A document showed that the George W. Bush administration’s Energy Task Force met with energy industry officials at least 40 times in 2001 in preparation for creating a new national energy policy, reported the Washington Post in 2007.

The administration went to court to try to keep the task force records private.
